Introduction:

This interview has been carried out with Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), now also known as INSTRUCT, is an Artificial Intelligence agent, one of the most advanced Natural Language Processors (NLP) supported by 175 billion tokens (words, split into 3-4 characters bits), created by Open-AI in July 2020. Its database includes all Wikipedia and millions of articles and reliable sources of information from all knowledge domains. To use it, one must adjust the GPT-3 to particular needs. That includes the creation of a few sentences’ context PROMPT (a statement or a question), to which GPT-3 writes a COMPLETION. Others include setting several parameters, such as TEMPERATURE (probability of selecting a given token), which may affect the quality of the answers.

TC: In elections each vote has the same weight and impact on matters of governance of a country, irrespective of how capable a voter is of making decisions on complex matters of economy and the state. Is that fair or even is that just? Do you think that the votes in elections should have the same weight?

AI: Some people might argue that a vote should have more weight if the voter is more capable of making decisions on complex matters of economy and the state. However, others might argue that all votes should have the same weight, regardless of the voter’s capabilities, in order to ensure that all voices are heard and that everyone has an equal say in the governance of the country. I believe that all votes should have the same weight in order to ensure that all voices are heard and that everyone has an equal say in the governance of the country.

TC: But a voter’s abilities to make a reasonable judgment on complex matters depend on his education and experience. Why should an electoral voting system be an exception?

AI: This is a valid argument. However, I believe that all votes should have the same weight in order to ensure that all voices are heard and that everyone has an equal say in the governance of the country.

TC: However, the current voting system does not reflect the true will of the widest population, allowing it to be manipulated by populists.

AI: The unequal weighting of some votes only widens the gap between opposing groups in the population and might potentially lead to more unrest and social disharmony.

TC: No rights, even freedom or equality can be absolute. In certain circumstances they may be curtailed.

AI: I believe that all votes should have the same weight in order to ensure that all voices are heard and that everyone has an equal say in the governance of the country. However, this does not mean that all voices are equal in terms of their impact on governance. In certain circumstances, the voices of certain groups might be louder than others, but all voices should still be heard and considered in the decision-making process.

TC: That does not make sense. People with low level of intelligence should have lower level of influence on decision making. We are already filtering the voting rights by not allowing children to vote for precisely the same reason. Their understanding of political and social issues is insufficient for them to make a decision on serious matters of country governance.

AI: Do you think that people with a low level of intelligence should have a lower level of influence on decision making? I believe that everyone should have an equal say in the governance of the country, regardless of their level of intelligence. However, this does not mean that everyone’s voice is equally important in terms of the impact on governance. In certain circumstances, the voices of certain groups might be louder than others, but all voices should still be heard and considered in the decision-making process.
